The Bombay Royale, Melbourne's Best Band Options

[Pokey]

So I'm absolutely obsessed with this band at the moment, they've only been around for a couple of years but next week they are releasing their debut album (You Me Bullets Love). They mix surf rock with 70s style Bollywood funk and are just so much fun to see play live. I've seen them 5 times in the past 6 months. And not to mention their female singer is beyond gorgeous, which always helps! I think they're currently one of the best band's that Melbourne has to offer, tongue is firmly planted in cheek with them, but the level of talent is incredible. They're all about crazy costumes and have ridiculous names like they're characters from a cheesy Bollywood film. They don't sing in English which can put some people off, but honestly when you think of the voice as an instrument you just enjoy it's melody. Anyhoo, check them out, and if you're an Aussie here then do yourself a favour and look out for when they're in your city as they are totally worth a night out to see.

That's often the joke with hardcore Patton fans (of which I'm one ) but I drew the line at his "Adult Themes for Voice" album, that was just ... too much.

A true fan would call it 'progressive'
